Republic of Korea (South)

South Korea, located on the southern tip of the Korean peninsula, has one of the highest population densities and is one of the most ethnically homogenous populations in the world. Based on traditional foods and preparation techniques, the typical South Korean meal includes steamed rice, soup, and three to four side dishes. Spicy and robust flavors are characteristic of Korean cuisine, which includes red chili paste, fermented soybean paste, soy sauce, and garlic. Korean specialties include bulgogi (thinly sliced beef marinated and cooked on a grill), and bibimbap (rice topped with vegetables, beef, egg, and chili pepper paste). Kimchi, probably one of the best known Korean foods, consists of vegetables such as cabbage, radish, or cucumber fermented in a highly seasoned and often spicy brine.

About me:
I'm recently married, but my husband and I have been "nesting" for a few years. I am a teacher and don't like to spend my time in front of a stove, so I like things that are quick and easy. I love spicy foods! I was raised eating Korean food, but my husband is all American (i.e. green bean casseroles galore!) Luckily our dinners are a good compromise...One night Asian influences, one night American influences.

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff I

Reviewed on Dec. 8, 2008 by myla

I followed some of the reviewer's suggestions by doubling the golden mushroom soup and water. I browned the beef with onions and then mixed half a pouch of liption onion soup mix with a beef bouillion. Added salt, pepper and garlic and cooked on high for about 5 hours. It was delish! Served with noodles. I also added sauteed mushrooms.

Sloppy Joes II

Reviewed on Dec. 6, 2008 by myla

I followed another reviewer's suggestion and doubled the sauce and I also substituted half the ketchup for barbeque sauce. I also added a little bit of water to help keep it from being too dry. This was great!
